Gayety Ia Northern India.


Never has Northern India enjoyed so
gay q season. Agra has, of course,
been to great extent the centre of at
traction, and its local magnates have
lived for some time in a whirl of dis
tinguished visitors. Prince Frederick
Leopold of Prussia and his gentlemen
tarried for awhile at the club, and were
splendidly f5ted by the Rama of Dhole-
pore Lord Fife (who caught bad cold
between Quota and Lahore) was quite
charmed with the dignity of young Sem
dia, whointrusted him with message for
the Prince OF Wales; Lord Dungarvan
(who went out in Mr.. James's yacht has
been indicted into the mysteries of
elephant-hunting under the care OF Sir
Alfred Lyall, and Lord Buckingham
shire has revealed in the beauties Of the
Tai. But all this pales before the
splendor OF the Brasseys, of Buckley,
who travel always by special train,
sightsee all day, and return to their
gilded cars to dine and sleep. The
Sunbeam on wheels is now one OF
the wonders OF Hindustan, and the
party consists Of Lord and Lady
Brassey, their children, Mr.. Maclean,
Mr.. Pritchett, Mr.. Des Gras, Miss Iiau-
renee, and DR.. Hoffmeister. While
Lord Brassey brings his yacht to Bonn
bay her ladyship goes to Gwalior,
where she hopes to share the honors OF
durbar with the Maharajah. Lady
Rosebery has also been durbar hunting
again in the cool Northwest, and theif
Graces Of Manchester were particularly
delighted with Agra, where DIR. Tyleris
hard at work at q splendid jubilee car
pet, but always finds time to do the
honors for his numerous English
friends, who always remember grateful
~ his kindly hospitality, and, above
all, the Saying virtues Of his chef.

srAsoEyp SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE

The Polonsise style Of Costume suiuugs-
Metal ornaments-n beads Dinner
Toiisttes--other Notes.


fCcrrespondcnce OF the Richmond d iepstch.l
NRw York. March 10, 1887.
The polonaise style of costume is
one of those things that cannot bc
killed off; il has inherent merits, and
no matter how long il may have been
in existence, and even though it be
sljghted one season, the next IL is in
the full tide of popular favor once
more. This season the polonaise is
again TO the fore, and a great many
ladies are wearing them, particularly
indoors.
This model is one of the most stylish
shapes. IL forms two points in front,
dividing at the waist, and IL admits oil
the same jaunty trimming as basque
shape--velvet revers, plated vest, and
all.

waist down Ore edged with velvet,
which may be said to form continue.
ton on either side of the revers.
The material is q plain woollen suit
ing, but the skirt and drapery are of a
mixed goods giving the necessary con-
trast 10 the combination.
There is tinge OF savagery about the
metal ornaments OF sill sorts which are
coming in vogue. Hat buckles and
pins, together with ornamental brooch
es for millinery purposes, are seen,
while, when the hat is removed, 10 and

following account of the work done in it:
city by Richmond young man with
in the past twelve months:
One year ago last Sunday Rev. james
T. Dickinson preached his first sermon
as pastor of the North Orange Baptist
church, and on this, the completion OF
the first year of his pastorate, he
preached an unusually interesting ser
mon, containing as it did some very
suggestive statistics. Mr.. Dickinson
did not preach an anniversary sermon
by any means, and the figures which
he gave concerning the work accom-
plished during the year past were made
subordinate and incidental to the SER
mon itself. The following shows the
various amounts raised by the church

Poor Valley runs parallel with Rich
Valley, Little Brushy mountain sepa-
rating the two valleys-the former
lying in Tazewell county and the latter
in Smyth county. Ii isa good country,
but not so fertile and favored by soil as
Rich Valley, and hence the early set
tiers very improperly and imprudently
called il Poor Valley by way, not OF
description, but of contrast. In this
valley also abounds magnificent forests
of the most valuable timbers, while
many fields of fine manganese, zinc,
iron, and other ores are found. This
company has also certain options
on 10000 acres of lands in
this valley, after long and tedious ex-
aminatioDs of the properties. This
ironfeld is really but the western OK
tension OF the far-famed Round-moun-
tain iron-bed of Bland county, the lat
ter forming the eastern base OF Burk's-
Garden mountain, while the former
forms the western base of the Garden
mountains. The Poor Valley is drained
with Holston river in Rich Valley.
through or-Valley creek at Laurel
Fork, five miles east of Saltyille, and
by Lick creek tventy-one miles east OF
Saltville, giving natural ways on easy
grades for railway connections between
the two.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1887-03-20

The company spoken of propose to
develop and open to the world these
magnificent mineral, timber, and agri-
cultural lands, and in Rich Valley have
taken options on 1000 acres of land,
5000 Of which is in plaster properties
and 1000 in iron and timber, aggre-
eating q cost of 1850. 600.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1887-03-20

Between the Locust Cove creek, tri-
butary of the Holston river, and Rich
Valley proper comes intervening ridges,
whose lands, being thinned, have left an
almost unbroken forest of poplar, hick-
Dry, ash, locust, oak, and chestnut tim
bers. The timber OF this valley has
long been noted for its excellence OF
quality--its curly walnut, and its mag
nificent poplars Five or six miles east
of Chatham Hill they seem to reach
the perfection of grandeur, and here,
on the lands of William Wyer, is found
the giant tree known as the "big pop
lar" and which actually measures TWEEN
tv-fonr feet In circumference.
